I don't agree that all Chinese made amplifiers are negatively viewed  on this site. Those that don't preform well or have reliability issues have been rightly called out. On the other hand those such as  for example Line Magnetic have received considerable praise on this forum. People are able to properly discern amongst various Chinese products.

I agree with testpilot. SETs are simple straight forward designs but to be successful  require high quality parts especially the output transformer. High quality transformers are not inexpensive. This point is amplified in regard to the 211/845 power amplifiers. 3
00b SETs can sound fabulous but need really good transformers and high quality power supplies. You can't go cheap in these 2 areas.
